Comments

Thanks for your comments about blogging being dead! I can see how some might look at blogging this way, but for many of us who are still novices in working with tech, blogging is a great way of reflecting and improving how we implement technology into our daily teaching. Your comments have helped me to only post items on MY blog of web 2.0 apps and tools that I actually use in my classroom, not just a gloss over from check out their website.

I've learned more from one trip to NECC and subscribing to the many tech blogs in the past year than I have in 8 years of teaching and going to PD sessions! So for that reason, I appreciate people that are still blogging and sharing, which is why I did the same for my blog called "Journeys in 2.0 Teaching":

I really enjoy listening to your show. I was mystified by all the hits I was getting right after your show aired that were coming from this site. Thanks for the mention. I actually found your show via The Wicked Decent Learning podcast http://wickeddecentlearning.blogspot.com/
